for the price.. hilarious, from what i've gathered, taht $6500 gets you about 305-320whp and 250ft-lb of tq..... $10k would get you an N54/box swapped in for 400-450whp, near 500+ft-lb and more potential.. heck, over in the US you'd probably get a whole 135i/335i for that money.... >_>
at that price, it's simply not a viable option for literally anyone.. it would cost me the $6.5k price tag, $500 odd in shipping, $1000 headers with $250 shipping, about 15% in taxes, installation.. so about $9500 + install.. say $1.5k for that, about $11k to boost an N52 and get proper power out of it .. add another $1k for an average custom mandrel SS exhaust, $12k to properly set it up that's ACTUALLY slightly more than it would cost me to get an N54+gearbox and install it to my car (regardless of the fact i'm building the engine for a lot more.. ) ha ha ha the lack of updates on top of that? no thanks Last edited by flinchy; 12-29-2012 at 06:08 AM.. |

I already read the whole thread before
Just checked a few pages back No.. Not really in depth?. Only brief mentions of 'its not worth it' With solid pricing, it's now possible to fully work out tht it's not just a feasible $5-6k like people thought before Thanks for being nice and polite about it though!.... |

My point is i guess, it's not just sell car + supercharger money and get a 135i or 335i like people were sayi g... Its sell car+sc money = instant fbo+meth+tune+probably even bigger turbos and possibly other mods if you got a good deal o_o If it was just 6k, the cool factor alone would be near worth it though |

They scrapped the idea a while ago. I'm surprised more people didn't know the way everyone was going crazy.
To be honest, as cool as it sounded it isnt worth it for MMW or us N52er's to have this "supercharger". People probably don't want to hear it, but if you want to dish out cash like that and want gains, sell the n52 and get a 335. |

/\ What he said.
Only real reason to even consider massive engine mods to an N52 (Swap being the only real viable option) would be because you have X drive and want something unique. But even then, 335's come in X drive.
